Designed in the Streamline Moderne style as an ocean liner. Built of reinforced concrete, equipped with a ship's bridge, nautical railings, porthole windows, ship's doors and metal rivets. It was thought to aptly express the Coca-Cola bottling method. Fans of vintage American culture can find delightful glimpses into the past via thousands of soft drink artifacts: vintage signs, print ads, beautiful old bottles, soda-fountain drinking glasses and more. But larger monuments to that history endure, hidden in plain sight here in LA.
The true Streamline Moderne building, completed in 1937 appears to be sailing down South Central Avenue. The bottling plant is registered as an L.A. historic-cultural monument and boasts portholes and a catwalk. Inside, the nautical theme continues with metal railings, bolted metalwork and doors with portholes.
